I would like to request some sort of communication to be sent to the requester and to the Digitisation Service when a bookmark is deleted and has a digitisation request linked to it.

Our experience was with deletion of a bookmark with the request pending to be processed.

There was no automated communication to the requester to notify him/her that the deletion was for a bookmark that had a digitisation request attached to it.
There was no communication from the system to let the Digitisation Service or Admin side of TADC know that the bookmark had been deleted and therefore the request needed to be cancelled.

I am not sure what happens if the digitisation request is already live and the bookmark is deleted. I think the system needs to give some warning to the user so they don't accidentally delete and to the service, in case there is any action needed from our side.

We would like to receive a notice when digitised readings are about to expire. It would also be useful to have the ability to automatically inform the module leader of this, to see if they want the item renewed for another year.

We had an incidence when a digitisation request was raised by one of our Library staff and they inadvertently linked the digitisation to the wrong URL within the reading list in aspire.
Instead of being able to delete the incorrect URL and replacing it with the correct one, the complete request had to be withdrawn and resubmitted.
It would have been great if we could have just changed the URL and reloaded the original request.
Would this be possible please?

During the time gap between when Library staff click on the Request Digitisation link from a bookmark in TARL, and Library staff uploading a digitised file into TADC, having the status 'Digitisation Pending' displayed in the Reading list view in TARL, so students, academics and staff can identify why a resource on their reading list may not yet be available electronically.

We would like a tick box somewhere on the request form so that an academic can indicate they have a student with a disability. We can then work with the academic to ascertain what support the student needs in terms of an alternative format or use of assistive technology.

We would like to add module codes to the subject line of the automated emails that requesters get when their requests are made live or rejected. Many requesters look after several modules and request numbers mean nothing to them. It would be easier for them to see at a glance the module concerned and they are also more likely to pay attention to the email as a result.

Reading list entries for journal articles have a link to "check for local electronic subscriptions".

Where articles are digitised, the link to the digital extract is further down the page. It is sometimes necessary to scroll down to see this, particularly on mobile devices and other small screens. Hence, student clicks on "click to see e-sub" link (and gets "not available" message) and does not realise that digital extract is available as this is not visible.

Can this "check for local electronic subscriptions" link be removed in cases where there is a digital extract available? (Generally , there should not be an e-subscription in cases like this as it is a condition of the licence that we have no e-copy available.)

Within TARL Expired digitisations are not clearly identifiable. The current display of Expired digitisations within TARL:

1. From the TARL edit list view - still appears as ‘Digitisation Live’
2. From the TARL list view - still displays the Online Resource buttons
3. With the CNAME feature active, within the bookmark item view - if the browser is not maximized, the 'view digitisation in a new window' button appears

The display of the Expired digitisation in these three areas is confusing for both staff and students.

This idea suggests to make changes to any or all of these three areas to more clearly indicate a digitisation is Expired:

1. From the TARL edit list view - the status be displayed as Digitisation Expired
2. From the TARL list view - a new button be used for Expired resources
3. With the CNAME feature active, from the bookmark item view - rather than displaying the button, the Expired message be displayed

At present, the default start and end dates TADC uses for digitisation rollovers are the previously entered dates plus 1 year. Should module dates change, this will mean that course details need to be edited manually on a list-by-list basis. It would be useful therefore to have the default dates set as the new time period for the reading list that the items are on (or at least the option to choose these dates).

I am wasting a lot of time by reviewing Requests that are at the status of Referred / Copy Pending, when many of these have had orders sent to BLDSC. This is not obvious until you open the Request, and although this info is displayed on the right of the screen, because I am assuming that something needs to be checked / done, I am scrolling down all of the Concierge checks before I realise that we are actually waiting for a file from BL.

When we receive invoices for documents supplied to us from the British Library, requests are identified by the order number which the BL allocates. This is usually in this format: 00524015.

Currently it is not possible to match up requests on our invoice with requests in the DCM. We can input the BL order number in the note field but really this needs to be a searchable field so that when we receive an invoice we can match up items listed with requests in the DCM.
